"Barnet Green Party opposes plans for a giant waste treatment plant. ... Pinkham Way is the wrong site because it is in the middle of a densely-populated area.

"They should not be building an Mechanical and Biological Treatment plant of this size at Pinkham Way, or anywhere else. The councils involved should, and could, be recycling a much bigger proportion of their rubbish.

"Many cities across Europe are recycling 80% and more of their waste, and recycling ratios can be raised very quickly - in months rather than years - once municipalities put adequate systems in place.

"If MBT plants are still needed, once maximum recycling levels are achieved, they should be on a much smaller scale, in order to have less impact on surrounding areas."
